NICE!! But better wait for a cheaper version to be available eventually. Almost $3k for an unpainted fairing. Add another $1k to paint the whole thing. $$$$ :O

I'm not 100% on both of these, but I believe the fairing is both VIN # and purchaser name locked. Meaning you have to have both the vin # and be the original purchaser of the bike (and the factory also wants a reason for the replacement), i.e an accident with an insurance estimate, etc.if you're not the original purchaser I believer you will have to give something showing ownership and vin #.
I know for certain as of right now they are VIN locked.
I'm sure there are ways around this all somehow, or maybe some dealerships are more flexible than others. I'm sure in a few years this will change or replicas will start popping up for sale.
I kinda think the st fairing looks better but I figured if I am going with a full frame mounted fairing the fxrt might be better for wind protection. That and it’s pretty much bolt on.

I believe this to be true at first but now you can order whatever you want. Dealers will take your money.

I ordered everything to put the ST fairing on my '21 Sport Glide. The only thing that was vin locked is the mount that goes to the frame. I managed to get one through some back channels, but it is not something that I could duplicate. I am going to take measurements on the bracket so that if anyone wants to build their own they can. If you have access to sheet metal and a brake you could easily make one.
I purchased the rest of it from Surdyke before the MOCO put the stop to them selling discounted parts. Even if you had to purchase everything retail it would be less than $2k. Just depends on what you want to do, but for me the extra $$$ into my Sport Glide is still way less than buying the ST new, especially when the dealerships are tacking on surcharges of up to $5k. The only thing that is a little bit of a hassle will be welding the attachment points to the frame for the ST mounting bracket. I want to get the triple trees powder coated anyway, so that will be a good time to do that. If you have a '22 model, the mounting points are already there, so not a problem.
